YUCA FRITA
This is a tasty Latin side dish, that I always enjoy making. It's a great alternative to french fries or potatoes. This is also great if your looking for a real, ethnic appetizer or tapa!

YUCA FRITA CON MOJO
Who doesn't love something fried? That's how I first got turned on to yuca, now I cook it regularly. It's a starchy tuber, similar textured to that of a potato and is served with a lovely garlicky, orange dipping sauce. - Deeanna Dickey, Denver, Colorado
